Good product. Easy to use.
By Gordon T. - Oct 26, 2025 (Canada)
Pros
- Dependable everyday speed thanks to Ryzen options and fast SSDs.
- Battery life often stretches through a full day in this class.
- Strong value with practical extras like a full keyboard and numpad.
- Chassis feels solid for the price with limited flex; some models add a 180-degree hinge.
- Full-size Chiclet keyboard, frequently backlit depending on the configuration.
Cons
- Budget displays can be dim with narrow viewing angles and weak color.
- Speakers lack bass and the 720p webcam is only average.
- Connectivity can lag newer standards; USB-C may not support video out.
- Mostly plastic construction feels less premium than metal rivals.
- Specs vary widely across VivoBook lines, so double-check the exact model.
Final verdict
The VivoBook 15 (M1502) delivers strong value with solid performance, a sturdy build, and thoughtful touches like the lay-flat hinge and a physical webcam shutter. The tradeoff is a dim, color-limited display (around 250 nits and ~45% NTSC) and only middling battery life, so expect to stay closer to a charger. It is a smart buy if you care most about speed and price, and can compromise on screen quality and all-day unplugged use.
Best for students tackling notes and research, home and office tasks like browsing, Microsoft Office work, and video calls, plus budget-focused buyers who want strong specs without paying extra for a premium screen or all-day battery.
